[Bug 1955850] Re: /etc/X11/Xresources no longer loaded, error in patch
This seems to be preventing the Regolith X11 desktop session from properly initializing. Due to this bug, the gdm3-produced Xsession does not initialize xrdb, which is a required component in Regolith. While a workaround seems simple enough, I guess any X11-based gdm3 session with applications that use Xresources may not be properly initialized on a system with this bug. As such, IMO this bug deserves to be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1955850 Title: /etc/X11/Xresources no longer loaded, error in patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1955850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The issue still remains and breaks xterm defaults on Ubuntu 22.04. If Xresources is a folder, the upstream gdm3 Xsession script will fail even with this change, so this bug was not introduced by them and should not be fixed there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1955850 Title: /etc/X11/Xresources no longer loaded, error in patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1955850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1955850] Re: /etc/X11/Xresources no longer loaded, error in patch
Hm, that patch is indeed old, that is not consistent with what I thought was going on. So I looked a little closer. > Looking at the sources, I think this can be traced to: - Switching from a custom Xsession file to the upstream Xsession file in 3.38.0-1ubuntu1, combined with - An oversight in `debian/patches/ubuntu/xresources_is_a_dir.patch` It seems the first point is not actually true. The changelog for that version does list "Don't install debian/Xsession", but it is under "Merge with Debian. Remaining changes:", so it's not a new change in that version, just a statement of an existing difference between Ubuntu and Debian. Looking in the current changelog, the earliest version that mentions this change is 3.26.2.1-2ubuntu1 (from 2017), but already as "remaining". I could not find which version introduced this change, but given the age of the patch, I can imagine it has been around since 2011. In that light, I suspect that the problem I'm seeing is not introduced by switching to upstream Xsession, but by a change in the upstream XSession file that this patch has not been adapted to. And indeed, it's this one: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/commit/d98debd294060489c77d913d32674c4e08987b8f But indeed, submitting this patch (after fixing it) upstream is probably a good idea to prevent issues like this in the future (but I don't have the time to take that on). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1955850 Title: /etc/X11/Xresources no longer loaded, error in patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1955850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
